Resolve concerning an amendment to the
Constitution of the State, relative to the
eligibility of the Treasurer of the State, came
up on its final passage.
Mr.. Barker suggested that as this would
require two-thirds vote to pass, the yeas
and nays be taken.
The chair ordered them.
Mr.. Talbot explained that the term of the
Treasurer being five years, it would come
between the elections of the State which are
biennial, thus leaving an interregnum of one
year to be filled between the expiration of
the Treasurer's term of office and the sue
ceeding election. This resolve was to in
crease the term Of office of the Treasurer, or
his eligibility thereto, to six years to guard
against that difficulty.
The question being taken on the passage of
the resolve, resulted in the following ulani-
nous vote:

parents would not be as interested in looking
after them. This legislature had no right to
legslate to supply school children with rag
ged and old books, any more than they had to
furnish them with worn out shoes and ragged
clothing.
Mr.. Talbot agreed with his friend from
Portland. In his opinion, section two of this
bill providing that the teachers and school
committee should provide for the preservation
of these books, would be a dead letter He
hoped the motion to indefinitely postpone
would prevail.
Mr.. Hersey was in favor of this measure
personally, but his constituents were a unit
in opposition to it, and he knew a majority
of that unit were superior to him in knowl
edge, and he bowed to that superioritv
Mr.. Small thought there was a general
Misunderstanding of the provisions of this
measure lit was simply that towns should either
furnish books free or at cost, leaving it option
al with them which course they would take,
and providing that if they did not furnish
them free they should furnish them at a price
which would be q large reduction on the
present prices.
Mr.. Floyd of Brewer called attention to the
advantages of this bill in reducing the cost Of
books from 25 to 35 per cent below present
rates, and at the same time refraining from
compelling towns to furnish the books free,
unless they chose to do so.
The motion to indefinitely postpone the bill
prevailed by a vote of Sc to 80.

How and When to Run the plow.

AS the time and manner of plowing
varies to meet the requirements of differ
ent soils and localities. no definite rules
may be laid down by which to govern the
operation, but each piece of land must be
considered by itself and broken up at a
season and in a style best suited to its own
necessities. There are, however, some
general principles underlying the whole
matter which will assist each farmer in
deciding whether he shall practice fall or
spring plowing, and at what depth to
to set the plow.
Light, sandy land, generally speaking,
should be plowed in the spring and eX-
perience has proven, i'll most cases, that
land near the sea, which is rarely covered
with snow, produces better when broken
in the spring, than if this be done in the
autumn. On the other hand, heavy clay
soil appears to require the alternate freez-
ings and thawings of winter to pulverize it.
Fields foul with weeds are greatly bene-
hted by fall plowing, which turns un-
Ger the noXious growths with the stalks
OF the crop, before their seed natures and
not only destroys them, but forces them
beneath tho land. The exposure of pcsti-
lent insects to the weather is another ar
gulnent in favor of fall plowing.
The depth Of the soil and the character
of the subsoil, must determine the ques-
tion of deep and shallow plowing; the sub
soil, as a rule, ought not to be brought
out of its bed except i'll small quantities
to..be exposed to the atmosphere during
the winter and spring, or in a summe
fallow, nor even then except when sucl
fertilizers are applied rs are necessary t.
put it at once into productive condition
The indifferent soils of opposite character
as stiff clay and sliding sand, sometime
occupy the relation of surface apd subsoi

THE DERWsHEs OF TANelERs.
Pilgrims Who Dance Themselves Into g
Fury-A Wild Spectacle.

Pilgrims Who Dance Themselves Into q
Fury-A Wild Spectacle.
There is fanatical sect of dervishes, here
known as "Eisowa" or "Isowa" They are
tho followers of n saint named Ben 1sa, whose
tomb is at Fcz. An annual pilgrimage is
made at this shrine or to another at Mequinez
When these pilgrims return, as OH the day in
question, they halt outside the town; then
PROFESSIONS go out to meet them with banners
ard music. Starting at distance of quar-
ter of milo from the town, the pilgrims pro.
coed to dance themselves into fury while
edging slowly toward the gate. They howl
and writhe their bodies like the bowling der
wishes at Scutari, and are hideous looking
crow. Occasionally they rcnd live sheep in
pieces and devour it.
Men with long sticks stand about to keep
them in place, for the fanatics sometimes
break loose and rush through tho crowd, and,
they say, sometimes maltrcat people,
thought the thing Il little theatrical and not
entirely genuine, although l saw men stand
in hot Goals and stick skewers through their
checks, but it all looked to be done for effect
AS a wild spectacle it was u success, though
half-naked, howling men, covered with blood
and looking mad
| was standing III the crowd, looking at
the thing, when soldier sent by the bashaw,
who was near by, advised me to move to q
moro respectful distance, so perhaps the ex-
element may have some reality. The un-
fortunate Jews have to get out of the way on
these occasions, rs they are often maltrcate,l.
1t took the "Isowa" couple of hours to
dance their quarter mile, so l had time to
get into town and see them again. They dis.
banded at the gate of the town; that is, they
ceased to keep any semblancc of order The
main street was cleared and the shops shut
and from the window of house saw them
come rushing down the street, howling and
shrieking on their way to the mosque, where
they are kept until they are Gained down.

GROUND PLAN OF POULTRY HOT 81.
Line the whole inside with black build
ing paper for warmth. The tar in dark
paper is not inviting to lice and other ver-
min. A poultry yard may extend either
way from the building, with Il door Or pas
sagcway for convenience.
A Wo:.d correspondent, who has test
ed this poultry house, says with regard to
breeds: 81 prefer the Plymouth Rocks
and Bruhmus for the whole year round to
any other. They are good for eggs and
very quiet The Rock chicks are hardy
md get their growth early. The flesh of
either kin! is excellent.
s'The tdv little Leghorn is considered a
non-setter and an everlasting layer. 1t is
constitutionally shy, nervous and peppery,
and cannot kecpstill long enough to hatch
out family of chickens. Its weight is
light, and the flesh not as good as most
other kinds.
"The only objection ever heard against
the Rocks is that they like TO set pretty
often. I think myself they do, but they
are easily broken up and soon return tC
their former usefulness"

How Ingalls, Won His Wife,

When ingalls, first went to Kansas he was
supposed to be an irreclaimable bachelor. He
paid no attention to the girls of the frontier,
and the pretty maidens of tho west cast their
eyes at him in vain He met, however, at a
reception one night the daughter of New
York merchant, who had como to Atchison.
Her name was Miss Anna Cheeseborough
and she was very fair to look upon. He
talked to her and found her conversation us
(. bright as her eyes, and he rode back to Sum-
Ier full of possibilities which his soul had not
dreamed of heretofore. Shortly after this
one of his friends was married and ingalls,
was asked to be his best man. To his delight
he found that Miss Anna Cheeseborough was
ono of tho bridesmaids After this the court
ing went on rapidly and his marriage was the
result. The Mrs ingalls, of to-day is the Miss
Anna Chccscborough of the past. She is ono
of the brightest women of Washington
society as well as one of the best looking.
She has had large family, but tho cares of
maternity do not weigh upon her, and she
enters as fully into Senator ingalls, political
career as though she had no domestic matters
to bother her.-Washington Cor. Providence

to each other. When thoroughly incor-
porated and subjected to deep cultivation,
these will produce soil of greatly in
creased value. River soils, having good
natural drainage, take kindly to deep
plowin:y. as do the black, porous and fertile
limestone soils. Land that is dry, with
but IL few inches of goo,l soil, will not, of
course, produce as good crops by deep as
by shallow plowing. Deep plowing is ill
advised when basin is formed below II
certain line in which water will settle and
remain until it can escape hy cvaporation
Such soils require drainage, after Which
the plow can be set deep.
10 sum up the whole subject briefly:
thin soils with worthless Subsols must he
plowcd shallow until the farmer can af-
ford the expense Of subsoiling and heavy
manurin., for II number of years. Deep
clay loan,s and aluvial soils bear deep
blowing Wet lands should he drained
previous to deep plowing. The medium
course, j. q, pl"wing from five t" six
inches deep. is exempt from the injurious
